Balint Veres is a Hungarian Formula GP driver who is currently racing for Pannon GP. He debuted in Season 1 and is one of sixteen drivers to race in the very first Formula GP, the Season 1 British Grand Prix. He is 32 years old in Season 1. He is regarded as an experienced (not in the sport) but slower driver of the field.

Season 1[edit | edit source]

When the first ever Formula GP regulations were announced, Hungarian Pannon GP was the first entry of the series. The Central European team's first goal was to sign two native drivers. While Kalman Mezei opted to join Gamma-x RC instead, Veres signed with Pannon for one year. Later, Pannon announced Stefan Aldenberg as his teammate. The 32-year old didn't set himself big ambitions, only podiums and solid contribution for the team.

The first ever race was held at Silverstone. Veres surprised everyone, including his team boss by qualifying second, only 23 thousands behind polesitter Ture Simonsson. The race however, didn't go as well as planned. In lap 2, while fellow Hungarian Kalman Mezei tried to make a move on Veres for second place, the two collided, eliminating both drivers from the race.

Next up was the Belgian GP. The long, power-dominated track didn't suit the Pannons, Veres only qualified 15th and two seconds off the pace. However, three overtakes and three accidents meant Veres jumped up to 9th place by the end of the race, scoring his first points in the series.

The Italian GP was the first ever wet weekend of the sport, and a very forgettable one for Veres. He qualified sixteenth, only ahead of the two Silver Arrows. The Hungarian managed to gain six places during the race, however that was because seven drivers failed to finish the race. Even Gabriel Piazza from Silver managed to overtake Veres but the main headline was Aldenberg's win so the team wasn't upset.
